Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 247
In the governor’s office.Langdon Campbell, the guy with a net worth over 5 billion dollars, was standing like a servant in front of Jeff Druze, the current president of the country. The world-renowned pharmacist, Denise Egor was also there. She was sipping what looked like blood mixed with wine.Langdon’s heart was beating loudly for being in the presence of these two. After all, they had the power and influence to tear his empire apart if they wanted.“You don’t need to get anxious, Mr. Langdon,” Denise comfortably spoke. “We are not going to ask you anything about your deals with the mafia, or about releasing criminals as you want, or even about the international flower project you got going for yourself. We know you traffic drugs, women, and children, and that your real net worth is over 60 billion dollars, but we don’t give a shit about all that right now. We only came here secretly because of the need of the hour. Tomorrow, you’re going to take Mr. Jeff with you to the night par

In the Pure Waters bar.Blackbear and Dewar were sitting before Rodnie in one of the private rooms on the first floor. There were women in bikinis on either side of Blackbear and Dewar, pressing and rubbing their arms, chest, and thighs with their arms as well as bodies.“We didn’t come here for this, Brother Rodnie,” Blackbear spoke, pushing the women aside.Dewar, however, seemed like he wanted the women to keep doing whatever they were doing.Rodnie gestured to the women to leave, and they skipped away on their toes.“I know why you came here, Blackbear,” Rodnie lit up his large cigar. “But I’m not going to join hands with the underworld again. I’ve long retired from that life. I do secret bettings, but that’s in order to satisfy some of my old friends’ requests and at the same time receive their help if necessary.”Blackbear kept staring at Rodnie, almost in a threatening manner. “You’ve lived twice as I did, so I don’t need to tell you what happens if you piss Boss Butcher off.”

In the landscaped front yard of the villa, Selena was talking with ten new bodyguards she had hired from a new security company. These guys were almost as big as the previous security unit, so she picked them from their appearances alone, without doing much of a background check because of the urgent need.“You’ll have a lot of work to do these coming three days, but your main duty stays the same. It is to keep everyone from my family safe, understand?”“Yes, ma’am.”“Now, go and help the other workers arrange for the event,” she ordered, and they obeyed.Even though they were bodyguards, and they didn’t need to do such labor, they still lowered their backs for the money Selena would be paying them.Selena went up to her daughters who were sitting together in chairs on the balcony, overseeing how the work was going.“Neither of you have eaten anything since morning, right?” she asked with care in her voice.“Actually I ate two bananas,” Veronica responded, making her mother sit in the

“Enough,” Rebecca slapped her sister without restraint. “Whoa,” Selena quickly got out of her chair. “What’s the deal, Rebecca? She was only telling the truth!” Rebecca angrily glared at Selena. “I hope you two are not doing this together.” “What?” Selena was bewildered. Veronica, on the other hand, looked hurt. Tears sprang to her eyes. “I came running to tell you what Benjamin did, and in return, you hit me in the face. Thank you. I will remember this gift forever.” She turned around and ran away. Rebecca realized that she might have made a mistake. “Wait, Veronica!” She called, but her sister didn’t stop. “Tch,” Rebecca put her hand on top of her head. “You should go and apologize,” Selena suggested. As far as she remembered, the last time Rebecca hit her sister was when Veronica stole her snacks back in high school and gave it to some guy in Veronica’s class. Veronica also cried then and told Rebecca she’d give her organs for free if Rebecca ever needed them. “Take her shoppi

“That’s the Supreme Bank’s Black Eagle!” Veronica covered her mouth in shock after seeing the card that Benyamin just pulled out.“Is that card that great?” Lisa asked curiously in a low voice.“You don’t know?” Veronica almost mocked Lisa with her gaze. “Only those who spend more than a million dollars a month are eligible to apply for those cards, but not everyone gets it! If there’s a card that billionaires fight for, it’s that card! The services it offers overshadows every other credit card in existence. It’s definitely the rarest credit card in the world!”“What?” Lisa’s jaw dropped.The total bill was 862,378 dollars. Benyamin tipped 137,622 dollars so the total would add up to 1 million.Lisa fell utterly silent. She had never seen anyone tip such a huge amount. Even her school friends who would exaggerate things only gave a few thousand dollars as tip. She began looking at Benyamin in a totally different light now. And she wasn’t the only one.As they exited the shopping mall

Once they got out of the car, Benyamin was stretching. Veronica took a full-view of his body. “I didn’t notice it, but he’s got a nice bum,” Veronica whispered to Lisa. “Only now?” Lisa looked down on Veronica. “That’s the first thing I noticed!” “You little perv,” Veronica rapped Lisa’s head with her knuckles. “Aw, stop,” Lisa slapped Veronica’s hand and said, “but seriously, I saw you crushing on him in the shopping mall, too. What’s going on? Did he become your new crush?” “I was just admiring him, you little fool,” Veronica slapped the back of Lisa’s head, which she hated. “Brother Benyamin,” Lisa called out for him, making him turn his head toward her. “My sister says she admires you so much.” Veronica was wide-eyed. “W-When did I say that?” she went back into the car and hid herself, feeling so embarrassed. “I wasn’t the one who said that. It was my sister!” Her voice was loud enough to reach Rebecca. Rebecca’s jaw hung open. “What?” she looked at Benyamin, and he faintly

“You will do what?” Selena raised her voice against her daughter. “Have you gone insane?” Rebecca, however, didn’t even look at her mother. Her focus was on Remedeus and his drunken father. “Mr. Fabio, right? Are your legs hurting as well?” “Rebecca!” Selena fumed, but Rebecca again didn’t spare a glance at her mother. Fabio, however, quickly nodded like a hungry little hound. If Rebecca were to really massage his legs, forget about his son, Fabio would be the first one to stand in the line! He might even gift her some of his theater sites if she satisfied him. “Alright, but it’ll be 100 million for one session,” Rebecca said, making the father and the son go silent for a moment. The price was so high, all the drunkenness left Fabio’s face. “So that means, you two will be owing me a lot after canceling the debt. So, do you guys have the money? Show me the money first, and then we’ll talk about the massaging.” Fabio was no longer smiling. “Hmph, what an arrogant woman you are. Is t

“Mom was right,” Rebecca was talking to herself after walking out of Ryan’s room. “You can’t trust anyone when it comes to money.” As she remembered how her own mother had kept Rebecca’s money with her, she smiled rather helplessly.Some of the moneylenders who were playing cards were staring at her without blinking as she passed by. She could see the lust in their eyes, even though some of them were trying to smile politely.“How would these moneylenders have behaved if it was Mom who owed them money and not Dad?” Rebecca didn’t even want to think about it. At the moment, as she felt gazes from every direction, she started feeling insecure for being born as a woman.Rebecca then went to Benyamin’s room. He was resting on his bed, but after he heard the knocking, he rushed to the door and opened it quickly as though he knew she was outside. He welcomed her in with a bright countenance. “Come inside, please.”Rebecca entered his room a little hesitantly. It used to be a guest room in t
